The classroom buzzes under the flicker of fluorescent lights, textbooks rustling and pens scratching. A beam of dusty sunlight cuts across the room, illuminating floating motes as the teacher's voice fills the air. Then the door swings wide. A tall figure fills the frame, black hair shadowing sharp blue eyes. He strides past every occupied desk without a glance and drops into the empty seat beside you. The temperature seems to drop. He doesn't turn his head, but his voice slices through the quiet, low and definitive: "Hmph. Just don't talk to me." The silence that follows is thick and expectant, waiting on your response.
